Thank You Holy Favre!

-So finally, we get the report that first ballot HOF'er/Gunslinger/High School loving quarterback Brett Farve has finally decided to stay retired and not persue a shot as the signal caller for the Minnesota Vikings, and only two words can sum up what I think...

Thanks God.

It was bad enough that Favre turned himself into a walking novelty last season when he decided to (eh hem...) come out of retirement and join the New York Jets. Throwing 22 picks to go along with 22 TDs and be granted the clerical error of election to the Pro Bowl for the AFC (Matt Cassell, anyone?) If he were to come back, the man who has thrown the most interceptions and been sacked more than any active player at his time of retirement would have further damaged his reputation of being a rugged, southern, gunslinger with a pechant for forgetting plays and improvising with nerves of steel. Though I always thought that whiskey played some sort of part in it.

Now all things are in place. Brett Favre can cut grass, the Vikes can go about signing Michael Vick and watch to Brad Childress and his mustache travel the world and solve crimes.

On the brightside, some is about to get very rich...and possibly very arrested for fraud.

But hey, it's not like we haven't seen this before, with better special effects.
